The hotel had a strange smell in the hallway. The fire alarm went off a few times without any explanation for it. Overall the room was clean and the area felt safe. The hotel was convient and cheap for a short weekend trip.

Hotels should list this as an extended stay property because it is. And if I had known that, I would not have booked my stay there because it's rather shabby like many extended stay facilities. There was a dead roach on the floor in my room, so I left and never even stayed the night. Also, when I arrived firefighters were there responding to some false alarm, so the fire alarm went off about three times for the approximately 20 minutes I was there. Abysmal.

The room we were in the first night was dirty, there was a dirty towel in the bathroom, there was grease splattered on the stove top and the kettle sitting on the stove and there was dust on the stove hood. They moved us for the second night and the room had an odd smell in it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We’ve had worse but we won’t stay at this property again.
